My love for Weleda products, and the positive experiences I’ve gathered with the company over the years, have brought me here, to Palisades, NY. I’m a German university student in my last throes; my focus is on American and Scandinavian studies, as well as cultural anthropology. Before finishing my studies next year, I wanted to gain some more experiences abroad, and I was excited to get the chance to work at Weleda North America, as an intern in the Communications department. I am looking forward to learning more about the world of Weleda and to blogging my experiences and sharing them with the Weleda Community.

Why Weleda? My fascination for the company has grown ever since I was a PR/Communications intern at Weleda Germany in 2006. I felt right away that Weleda is more than a business—it’s also a way of life. To me, it’s about people and our connection to nature—a relationship I think many of us are finding it harder to cultivate nowadays.

What fascinates me so much about Weleda is that it’s modern and traditional at the same time. In Germany, Weleda products have a long history and have always stood for high quality. More than that, I would even say they create a feeling of nostalgia for many Germans. When I mention to people there that I work for Weleda, their eyes begin to shine and they immediately start telling me all about their favorite products and how Weleda has been part of their family “forever.” It makes you feel so good!

As for me, my personal well-being favorites are the Iris Cleansing Lotion and, especially in the fall, the Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion and the Everon Lip Balm. What are yours?

I came down with the worst case of eczema in my life about 2 and a halfs years ago. My entire body looked like I was a burn victim. I'm still recovering. Yeast caused my ezcema. I practically bathed in coconut oil and swear by quality versions of it. For my lips coconut oil didn't work. They were swollen and blackened by the ezcema. The ONLY THING that HEALED MY LIPS WAS THIS BALM. I use it now for prevention. Please make a hand and or body version. It saved my skin naturally. I stopped ALL STEROIDS because they started to thin my skin and wanted to heal with natural products . I truly believe in this product. Thank you.

This product is unbelievable. While shopping at Sprouts, I often check the little basket for free samples because they prove to be excellent. This little sample pack is quintessential for dry feet, hands, elbows, etc. Immediately, I instructed my son to drop by the store and purchase the 2.5 oz today. On October 2, 2016, a tall and very distinguished gentleman sat beside me in Sunday school asking, "Do you have any lotion in my purse." He looked like a professional basketball player, but I am too polished to asked a gentleman of his professional status not knowing for sure. He was far too handsome and dapper. I really desired to tell him, "Hold on, I'll be right back with that lotion." A lady walked in taking a seat to my immediate left; I asked her for her lotion and gave it to him. I hope that count for something. [Smile] Anyway, I left my lotion in the car by mistake. I wished I had a few packs of these samples to give him one. He now frequent my Sunday school class and I am simply mesmerized at his presence. You should hear the sound of his voice. You know what will be in my purse from now on. Yes, "Weleda Skin Food!" If I should marry him [smiling], it shall, likewise be in our estate in each lavatory especially in the guests lavatory. Excellent product!
